The only place in Metro Manila that truly gets me out of my head. I visit from time to time, usually on days that aren't too hot. I find that the current season is the best to visit, but there's a storm rolling over the city rn and you can never tell how bad things will get because it's by the sea. Another con this place has is that it doesn't have a lot of seating areas that are grassy. I'd love to sit on the ground but knowing how people are here, they'd probably just leave trash around. It's a shame cause the site is historical. Also there's not a lot of upkeep in certain pockets of the place. 3.5/5, Intramuros is great but the "Intramuros Area" is better. There's so much character and history to observe, even if you're not spending money to pay for the tourist-y gimmicks. And I'd even wager to say that getting lost here and spending NOTHING immerses you better than paying for a tour.
